His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 59

Right now, in the office of the general manager of K Hotel, the atmosphere was heavy.

Evadne stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her hands clasped behind her back. Her elegant and beautiful figure radiated an authority that no one could challenge.

"Who told you to release that video?"

"You said you wanted a video that could stir up public discussion."

Jason stood behind her, his face gloomy.

"Jason, as my secretary and someone who grew up with me, you should know what I hate most!"

Evadne slowly turned her head, "You were trying to help me, but you were also acting on your own. I know what you were up to. You wanted to use this to boost my popularity, to use my kind image to criticize Glynnis's behavior."

The more she spoke, the lower Jason's head drooped because each sentence pierced his heart.

"But let me tell you, I don't need it."

Evadne's gaze became colder, "I do these things because it's what I should do. Even if I hate Glynnis, I wouldn't stoop to such showy tactics to belittle her. Once a good deed is put under the camera lens for people to judge, it loses its original meaning."

"I was wrong. I just wanted to."

"What you want doesn't matter."

Evadne turned to pick up her phone, her face expressionless, "I'm calling Cassius now to have him call you back. The way you act doesn't fit my style."

"No!"

Jason's face turned pale, and he quickly grabbed Evadne's wrist, "Miss, you can punish me in any way you want! Let me clean the hotel toilets, wash dishes in the kitchen, and deduct my salary! But there's one thing, please don't let me leave you, okay?"

Evadne frowned, her wrist aching a bit.

The look in his eyes startled her.

Jason came from a family of law professionals. His father was a senior judge, his mother a well-known lawyer, and both his brothers held important positions in the legal field. Although they weren't as wealthy as some tycoons, they were still a family of status, and Jason had received a high level of education since he was a child, growing up pampered.

But for the Ashbourne group, for her, he was willing to give up his status and be her secretary.

Thinking of this, Evadne softened a bit, sighing, "This is the last time. Don't mess up again."

"Thank you! Thank you! I'll never make decisions on my own again!" Jason's eyes sparkled, and he was on the verge of tears.

"Let go of my hand. Remember your place." Evadne said softly, her lips curling up slightly.

Only then did Jason realize that he was still holding her wrist. His heart pounded, and he quickly withdrew his hand, his face flushed.

His palm still seemed to hold her scent.

"So, about your video trending."

"I'll tell Elvis to handle it, now you come with me."

Evadne elegantly picked out a suit jacket, and Jason immediately understood her meaning, hurrying to take off the suit and carefully help her put it on.

"I'm going to see Glynnis."

Glynnis found herself trending again, and she was very anxious.

"Mom, what should I do now?"

Glynnis angrily called Elspeth to complain, "I just got out of the last trending topic, and that country girl is back. She's just trying to get me into trouble!"

"Are you out of your mind? Don’t you know how did you get out of the trending topic? And you're still gloating over here?" Elspeth shouted.
